Summary

Each residential care facility is licensed as one of the following types, which are generally grouped by age. However, facilities may serve residents of other ages if licensed, capable of meeting the needs of the client, and the resident is compatible with other residents.

For elderly adults (ages 60 years and older):

Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE): Also known as assisted living, these facilities provide 24-hour non-medical care, supervision, and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming. Facilities may provide incidental medical services under special care plans as well as hospice or dementia care. Facilities also provide services to persons under 60 with compatible needs.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC):Provide a long term continuing care contract that includes independent living units, residential care/assisted living services, and skilled nursing care, usually in one location, and usually for a resident’s lifetime. This setting provides activities, help with meals, housekeeping, and other support services.

Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill (RCFCI): Provide care and supervision to no more than 25 adults with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Social Rehabilitation Facilities: Provide 24-hour non-medical care and supervision in group settings to adults recovering from mental illness who temporarily need assistance, guidance, or counseling.

For children:

Community Treatment Facilities: Provide mental health treatment services for children in a group setting and a secure environment.

Group Homes: Provide 24-hour non-medical care and supervision, and social, psychological, and behavioral programs for troubled children in a structured environment.

Small Family Homes: Provide 24-hour care and supervision in the licensee’s residence for six or fewer children with mental, developmental, or physical disabilities.

Transitional Housing Placement: Provide care and supervision for children at least 16 years of age participating in an independent living arrangement.

Licensed Beds (Data Source: CA DSS 08/12/2016)

This is the maximum number of residents that the facility is licensed to serve.

Clients Served (Data Source: CA DSS 08/12/2016)

When choosing residential care it is important to select a facility that serves people with similar needs and characteristics. Each facility serves a specific type of client.

Age groups:

Elderly: Ages 60 years or older

Adults and elderly: Ages 18 years or older

Adults: Ages 18 to 59 years

Children: Ages 17 years or younger

Children/Toddler: Ages 18 to 30 months

Developmentally/Mentally disabled*: People with a chronic psychiatric problem and a developmental disability such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, or other similar condition.

Medically fragile: People who are acutely ill and in an unstable condition.

Mentally disabled^: People with a chronic psychiatric problem. A mentally disabled individual has trouble adapting to situations and functioning in general.

Restrictive health condition: People who have health conditions that require a facility to follow specific regulations in serving the client. The state defines 11 health conditions as restrictive: administration of oxygen; catheter care; colostomy/ileostomy care; contractures; diabetes; enemas, suppositories, and/or fecal impaction removal; incontinence of bowel and/or bladder; injections; use of Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing Machine; stage 1 and 2 dermal ulcers; and wound care. The state has outlined specific care procedures for these conditions that must be followed by the facility.

Substance abuse: People who use alcohol or drugs excessively, resulting in physiological or psychological dependency.

Locked Perimeters (Data Source: CA DSS 08/12/2016)

This information item applies only to Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE). To prevent residents with dementia from wandering away, some RCFEs install safety devices that require a key code to exit a unit of the facility, the facility itself, or the facility’s fenced yard. A facility with a locked perimeter must have a fire clearance.

Delayed Exits (Data Source: CA DSS 08/12/2016)

This information item applies only to Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE). To prevent residents with dementia from wandering away, some RCFEs install safety devices that delay the opening of a door 30 seconds after the handle is operated. Units with delayed exits are meant to secure, but not lock, facilities by delaying the door opening enough to alert staff when residents are trying to leave. A facility with delayed exit mechanisms must have a fire clearance.

Quality of Facility

Provisional License in Past 5 Years (Data Source: CA DSS 08/12/2016)

A provisional license means a temporary, nonrenewable license, was issued for a period not to exceed 12 months to allow time to for the facility to be in full compliance with licensing regulations. Prior to issuing the provisional license, the California Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) has determined that there are no life safety risks and the facility is in substantial compliance with licensing regulations. A consumer considering a facility with a provisional license is encouraged to contact CCLD and to ask why the facility received a provisional license or was placed on probation.

Probationary License in Past 5 Years (Data Source: CA DSS 08/12/2016)

A facility receives a probationary license if an administrative action was filed or the facility received a deficiency at the time of a CCLD inspection concerning direct care and supervision of a resident with a restricted health condition. The facility then works with CCLD to develop a corrective plan of action. A consumer considering a facility with a probationary license is encouraged to contact CCLD and to ask why the facility received a probationary license or was placed on probation.

CCLD is required to inspect each residential care facility every five years and to visit (unannounced) approximately 30% of the facilities once a year. The page shows the number of citations and allegations issued over the past five years by CCLD.

When a facility is inspected, deficiencies are noted, and some deficiencies may result in a penalty. Penalties may also be assessed if a reported deficiency has not been corrected within an agreed upon time frame. A consumer considering a facility is encouraged to contact CCLD and ask to review the most recent survey reports.

Citations and Allegations (Data Source: CA DSS 08/12/2016)

Serious or Immediate Risk: Type A citations are the most serious type of violations in which there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of residents. Examples may include lack of care or supervision, access to open bodies of water, lack of a fire clearance for the building, and access to dangerous chemicals. Citations for these violations will always be issued even if the violation is corrected on the spot.

As of February 2014, the average number of Type A citations by facility type for the past five years is:

Adults: 2.8

RCFE: 3.6

CCRC: 1.7

Children: 3.0

Potential for Immediate Risk: Type B citations are for a violation that, if not corrected, may become an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of residents. Examples include faulty medical record keeping and lack of adequate staff training.

As of February 2014, the average number of Type B citations by facility type for the past five years is:

Adults: 4.1

RCFE: 3.5

CCRC: 1.6

Children: 4.0

Complaints: A complaint, or allegation, is a formal grievance against a facility that is filed with and investigated by CCLD. It is filed when someone has an objection to treatment or safety. Complaints may be considered an indication of quality because, to some extent, they show the degree of consumer satisfaction or dissatisfaction with a facility.

After complaints are investigated by CCLD, they are deemed either substantiated (if the inspector found the claim to be true), or unsubstantiated (if there was no proof to support the complaint). If a complaint is substantiated, a deficiency or citation may be given to the facility.

As of February 2014, the average number of complaints by facility type for the past five years is:

Adults: 0.7

RCFE: 1.1

CCRC: 0.6

Children: 1.8
